Hmm. Take this and change the tone and content for the 60′s and you have the same thing. For what it’s worth – the us vs. them doesn’t strike me as a constructive or accurate argument, explanation, or path.
What it most reminds me of (and it took me a day or so to think of it) is John Perry Barlow’s 1996 “Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace” (http://w2.eff.org/Censorship/Internet_censorship_bills/barlow_0296.declaration) which is, quite frankly, now looking laughably naive 14 years on.
